Hello everyone, Hope those of you who have been affected by Hurricane Sandy are safe and well. Free Culture X (formerly named the SFC NYC Conference) planning is underway with vigor.
The date has been set: *April 20-21, 2013. * The location: *New York Law School*, 185 West Broadway, New York, NY 10013 Taking advantage of this once-a-year gathering of free culturites, this year's "conference" will all be about creating actionable activist campaign and outreach recipes. In addition to the traditional keynotes and panels, we're organizing workshops around the issues we care about. We're hoping participants will put their minds, creativity, and passion to work, creating projects and campaigns to be implemented post-conference. To make this conference model a reality, we're looking for a core group of SFC members and alumni to join the "FCX Programming Committee." Members of this committee will help formulate the workshops, lead a workshop session, serve as a moderator to make sure the session stays on point, and/or facilitate the presentation of workshop results. Ideal members of the committee will have had experience with a free culture related campaign in specific area, such as open access to education, alternative copyright education, Internet freedom, privacy education/reform, etc. The board members of SFC will provide the support, structure, and resources necessary to make each workshop viable and successful. If you're interested in becoming a member of the FCX Programming Committee, know someone who might be interested, or have a recommendation, please email [email protected] with the subject line: "*FCX Programming Committee*." As always, we're open to any suggestions, questions, or concerns. We're looking forward to seeing what responses we get! Thanks! Cheers, Jennifer Conference Coordinator
